Congratulations! Looks like you didn't entirely goof it up, as is fairly common. That cactus almost comes across as an X-ray image. Cool effect.

Judy, you forgot to tell, what film it was and how did you develop it. Looks like you tamed the grain pretty well with good range of tones.

Congrats!! Isn't it an amazing feeling to see those negatives and know you did it? It gets easier the more you do it, too. I'm excited for you!

Good job on souping the film!!! Now you know how to do it, so you'll never forget! It's like falling a swimming bicycle off of a log, if you know what I mean. ;-)
